Christmas Trees and Merry Christmas

You can say Merry Christmas to whoever you want, but it's safer to say Happy Holidays if you aren't sure that the person is Christian.  Only Christians celebrate Christmas and there are a lot of people in America that practice other religions.  In school, I don't think it's fine to put a Christmas tree if they are also willing to have a Hanukah menora, and the symbols that the other religions use for their holidays.  Truthfully, I think it's easier for the schools to just leave these ornaments out.  School is for learning... and the holidays will be celebrated at home.  There are parents that purposely send their children to private religious schools, and in this case of course it's fine to put up a tree or whatever... but if it's a public school with people from all religions and beliefs, I think it's better without.

Mammasgirl and Ivy Tamara, Christmas trees, Christmas Carols, Santa Clause, Jesus' birth political correctness. All of these and many more are sythoms of the real problem. What is the real Problem? The loss of faith and belief. Too many people think they nolonger need the hand or the help of GOD. How often do you say, "Thank you GOD FOR..." Let's admit it, if we do not thank GOD for what we have, when will we be thankful for the country we live in. If we don't feel blessed for this country, then why should we celebrate the birth of Christ with Christ-mas? In fact, why not just make Halloween a year round celebration? I am sorry, If you are watching the news, we already do. Symbols of Goodness, Forgiveness, Faith, Hope, Promise, the Future and all things good are represented with a simple decorated Christmas Tree displayed in a classroom during the Christmas season. Put Christ first, then the tree and any other religous representation and celebration item after this because, the United States was founded on Christian Principles, not all the other religions. The United States used to be a unique country; a Melting pot accepting to all with goood and honorable intentions. Now the United States has become an Ice Tray dividing and seperating all. Next we will all have the deep freeze to look forward to. Climb out of your compartment and be a real American UNDER GOD. PUT UP THE TREE IN CLASSROOMS AND LEAVE IT UP THROUGH THE SEASON.
